Some anomalies in the processes $b\to s\ell\ell$ ($\ell=\mu,e$) and $b\to c \ell\bar\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=\tau,\mu,e$), in particular in the observables $R_K$ and $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$, have been found by the BaBar, LHCb and Belle Collaborations,…
We show that new physics models without new flavor violating interactions can explain the recent anomalies in the $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ transitions. The $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ arises from a $Z'$ penguin which automatically predicts the $V-A$…
General expressions for one-loop contributions associated with lepton-flavor violating decays of the standard model-like Higgs boson $h\to e_b^\pm e_a^\mp$ and gauge boson $Z\to e^\pm_b e_a^\mp$ are introduced in the unitary gauge. The…
Mirror Twin Higgs(MTH) models always contain heavy gauge bosons and extra Higgses. Besides, to accommodate tiny neutrino masses via seesaw mechanism, new heavy neutrinos can also be introduced in MTH extension models. Such new particles and…
These proceedings review the status of New Physics contributions to flavour violating $B$ decays. The anomalies in charged and neutral current $B$ decays related to lepton flavour universality violation have received a substantial amount of…
We study an extension of the Standard Model that addresses the hints of lepton flavour universality violation observed in $B\to K^{(*)} l^+l^-$ decays at LHCb, while providing a viable candidate for dark matter. The model incorporates two…
We present a comprehensive phenomenological study of a class of six vector-like lepton models with seesaw-like mass contributions and strong modifications to Higgs and lepton phenomenology. We focus on lepton flavour conserving and…
331 models constitute an extension of the Standard Model (SM) obtained by enlarging the SM gauge group $SU(3)_\text{C}\times SU(2)_\text{L}\times U(1)_Y$ to the group $SU(3)_\text{C}\times SU(3)_\text{L}\times U(1)_X$. We investigate how a…
Depending on the assumptions on the power corrections to the exclusive b -> s l+ l- decays, the latest data of the LHCb collaboration - based on the 3 fb^-1 data set and on two different experimental analysis methods - still shows some…
We calculate loop induced lepton flavor violating Higgs decays in the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity. We find that a finite amplitude is obtained only when all contributions from the T-odd lepton sector are included. This is in contrast…
The collection of a few anomalies in semileptonic $B$-decays, especially in $b\rightarrow c \tau \bar{\nu}$, invites to speculate about the emergence of some striking new phenomena, perhaps interpretable in terms of a weakly broken $U(2)^n$…
We present a detailed discussion of the current theoretical and experimental situation of the anomaly in the angular distribution of $B \to K^*(\to K\pi)\mu^+\mu^-$, observed at LHCb in the $1~\text{fb}^{-1}$ dataset and recently confirmed…
Run-I results from the CMS collaboration show an excess of events in the decay $h \to \mu \tau_e$ with a local significances of 2.4$\sigma$. This could be the first hint of flavour violation in the Higgs sector. We summarise the bounds on…
Motivated by recent results by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations on the angular distribution of the $B \to K^* \mu^+\mu^-$ decay, we perform a state-of-the-art analysis of rare $B$ meson decays based on the $b \to s \mu \mu$ transition.…
We discuss the impact of the recent LHCb update on the two lepton-flavour universality ratios $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$, and the CMS update of $B({B_s \to \mu^+\mu^-})$ regarding the possibility of New Physics in $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ decays. We…
Following the updated measurement of the lepton flavour universality (LFU) ratio R_K in B -> Kll decays by LHCb, as well as a number of further measurements, e.g. R_K* by Belle and B_s -> mu mu by ATLAS, we analyse the global status of new…
We study lepton flavor violating (LFV) $B$ decays in a general two Higgs doublet model with sub-TeV exotic scalars. Two different parameter spaces are explored: one dominated by extra top Yukawa coupling $\rho_{tt}$, the other by LFV…
In this work we study the potential of the lepton flavor ratios $R_{K}^{\tau \mu} \equiv \Gamma(B \to K \tau^+ \tau^-)/ \Gamma(B \to K \mu^+ \mu^-)$ and $ R_{K^{*}}^{\tau \mu} \equiv \Gamma(B \to K^* \tau^+ \tau^-)/ \Gamma(B \to K^* \mu^+…
Tests of lepton universality in $B^0\to K^0_S \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B^+\to K^{*+} \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays where $\ell$ is either an electron or a muon are presented. The differential branching fractions of $B^0\to K^0_S e^+ e^-$ and $B^+\to…
Lepton flavor universality can be tested in the semileptonic decays $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda_c^{(\ast)}$ where $\Lambda_c^{(\ast)}$ denotes either the ground state $\Lambda_c(2286)$ (with $J^P=1/2^+$) or its orbital excitations…
